City Lights |
A bright array of city lights as far as I can see |
The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me |
The cabaretes and honky tonks their flashing signs invite |
A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights |
Lights that say forget her name in a glass of cherry wine |
Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine |
They paint a pretty picture of a world that’s gay and bright |
But it’s just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights |
The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night |
The God who put the stars above I don’t believe made those lights |
Oh it’s just a place for men to cry when things don’t turn out right |
Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights |
Lights that say forget her love in a different athmosphere |
Lights that lure are nothing but a masquarade for tears |
They paint a pretty picture but my arms can’t hold them tight |
And I just can’t say I love you to a street of city lights |
